Somebody Buy That Man a Beer
Allie Prescott has been a man on a mission here at this Main Event, keeping his stack at or near the chip lead for nearly the entire tournament thus far. That's not exactly the case anymore.
The fateful pot began with Todd Wood opening to 26,000 and Prescott three-betting to 65,000 straight. Wood four-bet to 150,000, and Prescott went ahead and shoved in for about 730,000 total. He was only covered by Wood, and the call came to put about 1.5 million chips in the middle of the table. Not surprisingly, the two big stacks had the two big hands.
Showdown
Wood:
Prescott:
It was some kind of cooler for Prescott, and the dealer would not provide him any help. The board ran out , and it might be several more levels before we see another pot that big. All 1.5 million chips go to Wood, vaulting him into a monstrous chip lead.
For Prescott, there's not much to say. It's never fun to run kings into aces, let alone for 20% of the chips in play at a WSOP-C Main Event. He's out in 18th place, and he's likely going to need to find a strong drink in a tall plastic novelty cup.
